Afghanistan has given USD 1 million to the main UN programme for Palestinian refugees.
Abdul Rahim Sayed Jan, Afghanistan's ambassador to Turkey, presented the donation on Sunday to Pierre Krhenbhl, commissioner of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, in an Istanbul ceremony.
Turkey's foreign minister, who hosted the meeting, congratulated Afghanistan for the donation. Mevlut Cavusoglu said that despite the hardships suffered by the Afghan people, their country has shown "the most beautiful example of international brotherhood with its noble act."
